google_auth_proxy ================= A reverse proxy that provides authentication using Google OAuth2 to validate individual accounts, or a whole google apps domain. [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/bitly/google_auth_proxy.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/bitly/google_auth_proxy) ## Architecture ``` _______ ___________________ __________ |Nginx| ----> |google_auth_proxy| ----> |upstream| ------- ------------------- ---------- || \/ [google oauth2 api] ``` ## Installation 1. [Install Go](http://golang.org/doc/install) 2. `$ go get github.com/bitly/google_auth_proxy`. This should put the binary in `$GOROOT/bin` ## OAuth Configuration You will need to register an OAuth application with google, and configure it with Redirect URI(s) for the domain you intend to run `google_auth_proxy` on. 1. Create a new project: https://console.developers.google.com/project 2. Under "APIs & Auth", choose "Credentials" 3. Now, choose "Create new Client ID" * The Application Type should be **Web application** * Enter your domain in the Authorized Javascript Origins `https://internal.yourcompany.com` * Enter the correct Authorized Redirect URL `https://internal.yourcompany.com/oauth2/callback` * NOTE: `google_auth_proxy` will _only_ callback on the path `/oauth2/callback` 4. Under "APIs & Auth" choose "Consent Screen" * Fill in the necessary fields and Save (this is _required_) 5. Take note of the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** ## Command Line Options ``` Usage of ./google_auth_proxy: -authenticated-emails-file="": authenticate against emails via file (one per line) -client-id="": the Google OAuth Client ID: ie: "123456.apps.googleusercontent.com" -client-secret="": the OAuth Client Secret -cookie-domain="": an optional cookie domain to force cookies to -cookie-secret="": the seed string for secure cookies -google-apps-domain="": authenticate against the given google apps domain -htpasswd-file="": additionally authenticate against a htpasswd file. Entries must be created with "htpasswd -s" for SHA encryption -http-address="127.0.0.1:4180": : to listen on for HTTP clients -pass-basic-auth=true: pass HTTP Basic Auth information to upstream -redirect-url="": the OAuth Redirect URL. ie: "https://internalapp.yourcompany.com/oauth2/callback" -upstream=[]: the http url(s) of the upstream endpoint. If multiple, routing is based on path -version=false: print version string ``` ## Example Configuration This example has a [Nginx](http://nginx.org/) SSL endpoint proxying to `google_auth_proxy` on port `4180`. `google_auth_proxy` then authenticates requests for an upstream application running on port `8080`. The external endpoint for this example would be `https://internal.yourcompany.com/`. An example Nginx config follows. Note the use of `Strict-Transport-Security` header to pin requests to SSL via [HSTS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security): ``` server { listen 443 default ssl; server_name internal.yourcompany.com; ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /path/to/cert.key; add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=1209600; location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4180; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme; proxy_connect_timeout 1; proxy_send_timeout 30; proxy_read_timeout 30; } } ``` The command line to run `google_auth_proxy` would look like this: ```bash ./google_auth_proxy \ --redirect-url="https://internal.yourcompany.com/oauth2/callback" \ --google-apps-domain="yourcompany.com" \ --upstream=http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \ --cookie-secret=... \ --client-id=... \ --client-secret=... ``` ## Environment variables The environment variables `google_auth_client_id`, `google_auth_secret` and `google_auth_cookie_secret` can be used in place of the corresponding command-line arguments. ## Endpoint Documentation Google auth proxy responds directly to the following endpoints. All other endpoints will be authenticated. * /ping - returns an 200 OK response * /oauth2/sign_in - the login page, which also doubles as a sign out page (it clears cookies) * /oauth2/start - a URL that will redirect to start the oauth cycle * /oauth2/callback - the URL used at the end of the oauth cycle
